 * Hi,
 * The answer is no. Currently this plugin only supports US dollars and Japanese
   Yen conversion. This does not also detect visitors’ locale.
 * I can work to modify the plugin on fee, but probably purchasing that app might
   be less expensive, bug-free.

 * This pull request on GitHub seems to be the solution.

 * Thank you for the great plugin.
 * I am seeing the same problem. Everytime when loading any admin pages, that dialog
   shows up, even if I pressed a blue button “I understand”.
 * I wonder it may be because of my server settings. I would like to know if anyone
   had the same trouble and fixed it.

 * Please try the latest version 1.1.6.
 * The cause of the problem was that [Yahoo! (silently) stopped its API](https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Yahoo-Finance-help/http-download-finance-yahoo-com-d-quotes-csv-s-GOOG-amp-f/m-p/387662)
   around November 1st. This plugin depended on the API before.
 * I also changed not to use php_intl compatible library which made it work better
   without php_intl extension.Because the compatible library was too large and a
   plugin size too large is not good for others who do not need the compatible library.
   If you do not like formatted currency notations, please consider to turn on php_intl
   extension.
 * Because of changes, there may be some glitches. I am happy to hear bug reports.
 * Thanks

 * It seems that you are using older PHP, version 5.2 or earlier (which is out of
   support, FYI). Please try PHP 5.3 above.

 * The plugin is using PHP functions supported on PHP 5.3 or above, and your error
   seems to tell that the PHP could not find those functions. I assume that the 
   error occurred because you used PHP 5.2 at that time.
 * Strange thing is that I implemented PHP version check in the plugin and if you
   installed it on old PHP, it should stop with error message.
 * Anyway, please upgrade your PHP version to 5.3/5.4 then that issue would not 
   happen any more.

 * The first code did not have a workaround for the environment where mbstring extension
   is not activated.

 * No problem at all. I just updated the plugin to ver 1.0.1 to let it show a better
   error message, which tells PHP version is too old. Thank you for trying this 
   plugin.

 * I checked it on PHP 5.3.18 and it works without such an error. It seems that 
   you are using PHP5.2 or older version. If so, please upgrade your PHP version
   first.
 * I will add better PHP version checker and the error message on the next update.

 * I became to be suspecting this plugin makes my WordPress slow, and checked my
   DB. But the duplicated records in MySQL seems not happening on my instance now,
   that is, (wp_)ak_twitter table has one record for each article already tweeted.
   So it must be fixed on the recent version (maybe 2.1? changelog has one related
   DB bug fix).
 * Besides this, I am seeing that the Twitter Tools plugin’s Javascript and CSS 
   files (aktt_js and aktt_css) are called a lot on web server access log. But not
   sure yet.
